Abstract:
A method for measuring the concentration of inorganic, monomeric al in fluid samples was tested. The technique was found suitable as al-organic acid complexes (malate) and polymeric Al (as calculated on the basis of sample pH and total Al concentration) did not interfere. A much simpler calibration procedure than in the original description by Kerven et al. (1989) was found satisfactory. Applicatio of the technique to samples from a nutrient solution experiment show the importance of a tight pH control in such experiments.
